    enjoying a cozy, grey day

    Healthy Mindset – Day 10 It was raining and snowing all morning and now it’s just grey and windy outside, so today it feels perfectly normal to stay inside, get cozy and have that extra cup of coffee. My routine has been to write in the morning, and then work on my other projects in…

  • All the feelings

    Healthy Mindset – Day 9 Some days in the last few weeks have been exactly like this! Recognizing that it’s normal to have thoughts and feelings come and go throughout the day, even at the best of times, is one way of being kind to yourself. Not getting stuck in the thoughts and feelings that…

  • Letting the light in

    Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring, Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything), That’s how the light gets in Leonard Cohen Healthy Mindset – Day 7 & 8 I started this last Sunday with a vague plan to post every day about…

    Healthy Mindset – Day 6

    Let there be space in your togetherness Kahlil Gibran How has your week been? In some ways, it feels like things are settling into a sort of “sameness”. Since this started, I’ve been thinking that this period of time is a marathon, not a race. We have to ride this out, staying consistent in the…

    Healthy mindset – Day 3

    I’ve seen a few different ways that individuals and families are trying to keep a sense of community while homebound like turning their Christmas lights back, sidewalk art with chalk or displaying hearts in windows. I like the the last one. When I went for a walk on Sunday, I saw one house with a…

    Adaptability. It’s a skill that most of us can now add to our résumés! We’ve all had to find ways to adapt to the world around us that is changing every day. There is new information to absorb and put into practice; changes and rules that affect how we live our lives; and in some…

  • Regina Floral Conservatory

    It’s about -25 today so it’s a great day to share some pics from the Glimpse of the Tropics display at the Regina Floral Conservatory.  It’s one of the hidden gems in Regina, and on Sunday afternoon it was full of people escaping another cold January day.  I highly encourage a visit if you’re experiencing…

  • ceilings of the Louvre

    “Remember to look at the ceilings in the Louvre!” That’s the advice I took to heart in Paris.  The Louvre is intimidating – it’s the biggest and most visited museum in the world, so not only is there so much to see (over 35 000 works of art), you are often jockeying for a prime…

  • Walking Along the Seine

    One of my favourite parts of Paris was being near the Seine River. After a long, cold winter, the real purpose of the trip was not to visit the museums, eat the food, and drink the wine (okay that was part of it, too!!),  but to be outside and explore the city on foot. Every…

    In Paris….around every corner…

    …is something delightful to discover! The Stravinsky Fountain was on my list….and we happened on it accidentally after a wine tasting lunch while walking through the historical Beaubourg District. I love this mural by Jef Aerosol called Chuuutttt! A few days into the trip, after lucking out and just coming upon the Fountain, the guidebook…

    A beautiful afternoon in Paris….

  • Sunday Night in Paris

    It was a rainy first day in Paris, but the rain made for some pretty picture taking opportunities…this is at the end of the bridge (Pont Saint-Louis) which links the two islands in Paris – Ile Saint Louis and Ile de la Cite.
